Mandur 2

Today, Julie, Keith and Heather went to Fleet Methodist’s twin Church at Mandur,  where we were deluged with lovely fresh garlands. I received eight in all! Julie ten and Keith about eight also. What a wonderful welcome.

We were expecting 33 children, but 36 turned up!

We followed the usual routine, welcome, read the story, did the hokey cocker , played with the parachute, coloured giraffe hats, had a group photograph taken with the Reverend, and then it was time to go home. It was very, very hot. Keith repaired two doors in the Manse, and had a ride on the Reverend’s motor bike.

We also presented the Fleet Methodist Church Group photograph, taken after Church on Harvest Festival, which was welcomed.

Pre school was held in the church, as the tiny room they have at present is too hot and small for their present needs. They will be better served with a new school room.

I was also pleased to see they have a lovely new ceiling in the church with good lighting. No more buckets scattered around the church catching rainwater.

The morning finished with a lovely lunch provided by the parents.  Thank you Mandur for your gracious hospitality.
